Thanx to all, really! I just saw that the gallery version has got lots of comments, whoa :) To Bryster, gregsin, scotttucker & Jen: I really don't think that my version is better, mostly because it lacks the radiosity you can easily spot in the original render. I'm doing another interior, this time of a kitchen and this time with my design, and I'm really trying to find a way to fake radiosity (not GI, but radiosity). I'm a bit disappointed by the TrueAmbience test renders I did, but being the first time I used the feature, I'm sure I did something wrong somewhere. Anyone knows how high should be the average ambience level of the single mats to affect seriously the True Ambience option? Anyone can point me some tutorial about this Premium feature? @Rayraz: As for the large spotlight number, the eureka :) came some days ago, in this here magic Forum, when tuttle talked about making them ranged to save rendertime. I did it, I ranged each of the 92 spots to the strictly necessary falloff and nothing more. Just out of curiosity, when I finished the light setting, I "saved as" a copy, entered the lightlab and disabled the ranged falloff on all the spots: the rendertime (estimate) was 26 hours, 5 times longer than my posted pic. @Incarnadine: I agree with you. In Bryce now I work with real speed. It's really easy to set up a basic scene and then adding layers and layers of details. @Ralph: I'm thinking seriously of buying Cinema4D from a friend of mine who had a graphic agency. I'm making him wait for me 'cuz right now I don't have enough money :) @Pakled: Yes, I consider myself a newbie. I see too many really wonderful works to think the contrary. 90% of the things now I use in Bryce I've learned here, reading the Forum and seeing other people's work in the galleries, and you can easily get proof of what I'm saying by checking out the first pic I posted here in my first day of membership, six months ago (it was the end of November). And it was a pic done in 2000, LOL. @All the others: thank you again for your appreciation. I'm really glad someone found the article useful. Now I'm goin, because I just had a very silly idea for the May challenge... :) Thanks again, and, really, not only for the comments, but mainly for all the rest. And you know what I'm talkin about. ;-) Stefano
